The new Deichman Library - Diagonale Design : Atelier Oslo Architects and LundHagem Architects Landscape architects : Agence Ter from France images : Atelier Oslo Architects and LundHagem Architects The Diagonale solution for the new Deichman Library proposes: To divide the site into three buildings. By doing this, we give each building a human scale and integrate the project into the city. To place the Library on the site towards Operaallmenningen. Library visitors are offered the best views towards the city, the fjord and the surrounding green hills of Oslo; and the shortest connection to public transport. To make the Library visible to the public. The top of the library cantilevers out to announce its presence to the visitors arriving from down town Oslo and the Central Station. At the same time the view to the opera is secured by a large cut in the volume. To create entrances to the east, west, and south. Big cuts in the facade mark the entrances on three sides of the building, inviting the public coming from all parts of the city. The same cuts give views into the different environments of the library. To create a spectacular interior. The core of the new Deichman library is based on light and space and continuous diagonal views established between the library interior and the surrounding streets/square. Through atriums and openings in the different floors the library is united with the city outside. To communicate with the city. The façade diffuses the sunlight, giving a calm feeling to the interior. At night, the building will glow and change appearance as a reflection of all the different activities and events inside the library. images : Atelier Oslo Architects and LundHagem Architects Deichman Library Competition Oslo image / information from Atelier Oslo Architects Oslo Buildings Deichman Library : entry by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects Deichman Library Competition, Oslo - Authors: Lund Hagem Arkitekter AS v/ SVEIN LUND, EINAR HAGEM, PER SUUL, VEGAR VORAA, ANDERS MELSOM, QUENTIN LE GUEN-GEFFROY, CAMILLE BONNEU Atelier Oslo AS v/ JONAS NORSTED, MARIUS MOWE, NILS OLE BAE BRANDTZÆG, THOMAS LIU Landscape: AGENCE TER, v/ HENRI BAVA, HARTMUT FRIEDEL Concert Halls Art Galleries Library Building Designs World Architecture : e-architect - a guide to key buildings across the globe Comments / photos for the Deichman Library Competition Norway Architecture page welcome: info@e-architect.co.uk Deichman Library Competition Oslo Building : page - adrian welch / isabelle lomholt			Key Links: New Houses Architecture Studios Architects Norway Buildings Library Architecture Norwegian Architects
